Hey all,

This episode is full of a lot of good information and, unfortunately, a lot of "uhmms". As I was listening to this episode before posting it, I realized that early on in the episode I had a bad case of the "uhmmms" as I would search for info or try and get my thoughts ordered. I can't promise that I'll stop the "uhmmms" in the future, but I will work to make sure there aren't as many.

In this episode I cover:

So there has been a bit of an extended hiatus with the posting on this blog, this has mainly been due to a large cluster of non-LotRO related issues that just mounted up. I am slowly getting back into the ‘swing’ of things though, and will once again be updating the blog as I go. I hope that some of the folks that found the blog interesting in the past will continue to enjoy the new posts.

Today I do have a very small tidbit to talk about – I entered Skirmishes for the first time since Mirkwood launched. I, apparently, picked the wrong skirmish to get into after the Tutorial though – I chose Trouble in Tuckborough with my fresh Warrior (My current focus is a 43 Hunter – Branadoc).

Codemasters

The LOTRO-Europe folks are celebrating “Bullroarer Took Day” with a screenshot contest. Two winners will be selected (there are two categories) and will be added to the Bullroarer Took Day Screenshot Gallery.

For full details on the screenshot categories, the rules and even some tips on taking screenshots, visit the Codemaster’s page. Seems like a fun little thing to do with a group of buddies. Especially the “Most dangerous party location” category!

Everyone start storing your Yule Trees and Snow Globes because the spring thaw is on the way. The new and improved festival is set to appear next week Tuesday, March 23rd (according to the Turbine Calendar). The big addition this year being the Shrew-Stomping!

I will of course be creating a festival guides for this event but it may take me a bit longer. I sort of cheated with the Yule Festival and got my advanced information from Bullroarer. That’s not an option this time around so I’ll have to gather my info on the live servers with everyone else!
